EastEnders to air new Zoe and Kat feud – before a confession changes everything
EastEnders‘ Zoe Slater resorts to thieving from her own mum next week, as she becomes ever more determined to find her long-lost son. After Kat Slater promises to help Zoe track down the surviving twin that she gave up for adoption nearly 20 years ago, the landlady is furious to find that her eldest has gone behind her back and swiped money from the pub till.
Can Kat forgive her daughter for her act of desperation – or will Zoe’s selfish act jeopardise the help that Kat kindly offered?
“Kat is understandably livid,” explains our insider. “On the same day that she gives Zoe her word that she’ll help find her son, she goes and breaks her trust by nicking cash from The Vic.
“It’s a kick in the teeth for Kat and Alfie – but Zoe must be full of despair if she’s prepared to stoop that low and do her own flesh and blood dirty.”
Before Kat discovers her daughter’s betrayal, Zoe makes it clear that she’s intent on hiring a private investigator to track her son down. Kat points out that Sharon – who’s agreed to pay for the sleuth following Zoe’s claims that the boy was fathered by Sharon’s ex-husband Dennis Rickman – is out of town.
Refusing to be deterred, Zoe heads off to meet a PI. Meanwhile, Kat has realised that Zoe’s had her fingers in the till – so she follows Zoe to her clandestine meeting for a showdown and gets more than she bargained for when her daughter lies to the investigator.
Back on the Square, Kat tells Alfie that Zoe will have to leave if she can’t set a good example – but Zoe overhears this. The pair struggle to put their differences to one side, but a distraction presents itself after a stray kitten becomes trapped inside The Vic!
Thankfully, Zoe rescues the cute moggy before finally sorting things out with her mum. However, the truce between Zoe and Kat doesn’t last for long, as Zoe finally responds to Kat’s nagging with a shocking outburst.
“Zoe drops a bombshell!” teases our insider. “It comes after Kat pushes for Zoe to be honest with her. You’ll have to tune in to see what Zoe reveals to her mum – and it’s a moment that you won’t want to miss…”
What does Zoe tell Kat? And will she edge any closer to finding her lost child?
